When you view this clip you’ll get a good feel for what happens to an airplane when it hits a concrete wall.
The passenger jets that hit the WTC towers and Pentagon were doing 600 mph!!!
Many of you may have seen the Michael Moresque web site that asks the question; ‘If it’s true that a Boeing
airliner hit the Pentagon, what happened to all the parts of it? Why did we not find more pieces of it?
Where did all that mass GO? Well, for those who question what happened to ‘all the mass of that airplane’,
watch. It’s an Air Force engineering test of a concrete barrier that was to surround a nuclear reactor dome,
to see if it would indeed survive an aerial attack. With the high speed cameras rolling, they attached an F-4
Phantom to the sled and then pumped up the speed to 500 MPH. and…’What happens when an ‘Unstoppable Force’
meets an ‘Immovable Object’?’ Watch in slow motion as the F-4 turns to vapor.

Gmail Autopilot^TM by CADIE

Sample Autopilot responses

Respond to business proposals

Manage relationships

Match your personal style

The easiest email could possibly be.

As more and more everyday communication takes place over email, lots of people have complained about how hard it is to read and respond to every message. This is because they actually read and respond to all their messages.

FAQ

How does Gmail mirror my communication style?

The more Gmail messages Autopilot can sample, the better. With fewer than 100 messages, there may not be enough data to calibrate Autopilot effectively. You can adjust tone, typo propensity, and preferred punctuation from the Autopilot tab under Settings.

You may want to log in every week or so to ensure Autopilot is calibrated optimally.

Does Autopilot work for Gmail chat too?

Yes. Chat was actually simpler to build, given the natural language headway made by Joseph Weizenbaum's ELIZA. While many claim ELIZA oft times passed the Turing test, Gmail Autopilot passes with 99.9% accuracy due to the inclusion of human-like qualities such as compassion and wisdom and CADIE's related ability to calibrate to match your chat style.

What happens if a sender and recipient both have Autopilot on?

Two Gmail accounts can happily converse with each other for up to three messages each. Beyond that, our experiments have shown a significant decline in the quality ranking of Autopilot's responses and further messages may commit you to dinner parties or baby namings in which you have no interest.

It’ll take you just 2 minutes!!

The banana test

agroundedhigh — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 07:06:56 +0000

There is a very, very tall
coconut tree and there are 4 animals,
a Lion

, a Chimpanzee

, a Giraffe

, and a Squirrel

, who pass by.
They decide to compete to see who is the fastest to get a banana off the tree.
Who do you guess will win?
Your answer will reflect your personality.
So think carefully . . .. Try and answer within 30 seconds
Got your answer?
Now scroll down to see the analysis.

If your answer is:
Lion = you’re dull.
Chimpanzee = you’re a moron.
Giraffe = you’re a complete idiot.
Squirrel = you’re just hopelessly stupid.
A COCONUT TREE DOESN’T HAVE BANANAS.
Obviously you’re stressed and overworked.
You should take some time off and relax!
Try again next year.

How to stay awake in meetings

agroundedhigh — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 08:18:23 +0000

How to stay awake in meetings
Do you keep falling asleep in meetings and seminars? What about those long and
boring conference calls? Here’s a way to change all of that.

1. Before (or during) your next meeting, seminar, or conference call, prepare
yourself by drawing a square. I find that 5′ x 5′ is a good size. Divide the
card into columns – five across and five down. That will give you 25 one-inch
blocks.

2. Write one of the following words/phrases in each
block:

synergy	revisit	benchmark	fast track	touch base
strategic fit	expeditious	value-added	result-driven	mindset
core competencies	to tell you the truth (or ‘the truth is’)	proactive	empower (or empowerment)	client focus(ed)
best practice	24/7	win-win	knowledge base	paradigm
bottom line	out of the loop	think outside the box	at the end of the day	game plan

3. Check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those words/phrases.
4. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, stand up
and shout ‘BULLSHIT!’

Testimonials from satisfied ‘Bull shit Bingo’
players:
‘I had been in the meeting for only five minutes when I won.’ – Adam, Atlanta
‘My attention span at meetings has improved dramatically.’ – David, Florida
‘What a gas! Meetings will never be the same for me after my first win.’ – Dan,
New York City
‘The atmosphere was tense in the last process meeting as 14 of us waited for
the fifth box.’ – Ben, Denver
‘The speaker was stunned as eight of us screamed ‘BULLSHIT!’ for the third time
in two hours.’ – Paul, Cleveland
